But He Retires of His Own Motion, and Is
Fully Endorsed by His Superiors.
WASHINGTON. Dec 12.-Mr. Eugene Higgins,
chief of the appointment division, said to-day
that the report that he will shortly retire from
the public service Is true. He will shortly ten
der his resignation to Secretary Fairchield. but
he aas not yet fixed upon the exact date. He
wanted it distinctly understood, however. that
his retirement was entirely voluntary and was
in no way due to the efforts of people who have
shown SO much dissatisfaction at his retention
in office The principal reason for the proposed
step, he said is his desire better his condition
in life by going into business for himself.
While not desiring to pose as q martyr, ii was
fact that he retained his present Office at per-
sonal sacrifice much longer than he had intended.
Another reason why he has not resigned before
was that he was being assailed upon all sides.
and he could not bring himself to retreat under
fire. Ali the statements made by Mr.. Higgins
to the voluntary nature of his retirement are
confirmed by those officials who are in position
to know and it was added that the Secretary is
entirely satisfied with his management of the
appointment division, and has never had cause
TO regret his appointment.

The statement relieved the father to such an
extent that he said that his daughter had been
disappointed in love, and had sat up all night
writing letters to her sweetheart. She had
drank the liquid, and became so nervous to
be completely prostrated- Mr.. Potter promised
the clerk a handsome Christmas present for his
precantion, and later in the day the daughter
came in and thanked the young man in warm
words of appreciation.

LONDON, Dec. 12.-The stability Of Cabinet
headed by Senator Tirard, and composed of
such men as can be induced to serve under his
premiership, is doubted in all quarters. NJ.
Tirard himself can only be regarded, in the cir
cumstances of his selection, a mere make
shift, and naturally any Ministry he may bring
together must be held in like estimation. The
cause of the failures thus far has been in q
greater degree due to the course of procedure
than to any other circumstance reason. The
method pursued has been something like this:
The gentleman summoned by the President to
constructs a government visits each of his pros
pective colleagues separately, and without diff
ficulty obtains his consent to accept the portfolio
rendered him, but when each is confronted by
his confreres he discovers some political element
represented with which he cannot act in con-
cert, and promptly declines to serve. AS the
result Of NJ. Tirards second attempt to form a
Cabinet, the following list of Ministers who have
consented to serre in the capacities indicated
will be published in the Journal Oficel to.

body of troops, one student was killed and sew
eral were wounded. Hundreds Of others were
